This is a standard of care treatment guideline for patients with the diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidosis type IH (MPS I, Hurler syndrome) who are being considered as candidates for first hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) according to a University of Minnesota myeloablative HSCT protocol.

The incidence of donor engraftment will be estimated by taking the simple proportion of patients achieving donor engraftment over the number of evaluable patients. Donor engraftment will be defined as achieving an absolute neutrophil count ≥ 5x10^8/kg for three consecutive days before day 42 and maintenance of >10% donor chimerism through one year post transplant or death.

Laronidase Enzyme Replacement Therapy will be performed using laronidase once a week for 12 weeks prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and for 8 weeks post-transplant to reduce pulmonary complications.
